Library Notes Civil War Books Commemorate The Centennial
By HARRIET DARE Catalog Librarian As the nation begins the observance of the Civil War Centennial, there will be pages and and many events to commemorate the sacrifices of those who gave "the last full measure of devotion". For those who cannot travel to see these ceremonies The Coral Gables Public Library offers a collection of over 100 books through which everyone may participate in the Centennial. Authors such as Freeman, Nevins, Catton, Hanna, have recreated the spirit of those times so that they come alive in our thoughts. Two recent additions to this collection are; THE AMERICAN HERITAGE PICTURE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR. This volume portrays vividly in pictures and text the battles, the men, the leaders. There are colored and black-and-white photographs and paintings, some of which are by contemporary artists. For military enthusiasts numerous maps show landmarks and troop movements. THE CIVIL WAR AT SEA, by Virgil C. Jones, is an account of the first years of the war at sea. It is authentic documented history but easily read, and gives equal importance to the Confederate and Union sides. It begins with the secret preparations for war at sea and concludes with the engagement of the "Merrimack" and the "Monitor."
